DRIFTING FOR TWO YEARS.
The Story of Ono of the Most Remark
able Voyages Ever Made,

capt j. N. Armstrong, now in command
of the bark Kalakaua, loading lumber at Port
Blakely for the west coast of South America,
was in Seattle the other day. Capt. Arm
strong will be remembered as tn. commander
who brought the ship Templar from New
York to San Francisco few years ago on one
of the most remarkable passaras ON record.
After being out for some time, the captain
went to a foreign port, and for some reason
his crew, excepting the officers, left. Finally
two English ships came in, and from them
Capt Armstrong made up a new crew, and,
after being out four days, the entire crew, in
cluding the captain and his daughter, were
taken down with yellow fever. The first
mate died, and several of the sailors. Those
who had the disease less violent threw the
| dead overheard, one by one. The ship drifted
about without pilot or navigator for more
than a year. The captain, for two years,
was so violent from the ravages of the fever
that he had to be chained to the deck to keep
him from jumping overheard. He wears
the scars from the chains and lashings to this
day.
During the year that the ship drifted about,
| the second mate and three or four of the sail
ors recovered, but being out of sight of land,
and not understanding navigation, they We're

| Finally the daughter regained her reason, but
not her strength. One day she sent for the
second mate and asked him to carry her on
deck which he did She then sent for her
| fathers Instruments, and by the aid of these
and her knowledge of navigation she figured
| out the location of the vessel She then took
| the charts from the cabin and traced out a
| route to San Francisco. She then practically
| took command of the vessel and ordered the
second mate and surviving members of the
crew to make sail, and gave them the direc-
ton in which to sail. Every day for months
she would be carried on deck to take the sun
and give her orders.
Days and weeks passed and the ship contin-
ued on her journey. Being so light-handed
the vessel could not be properly handled and
could carry but little sail, consequently her
progress was slow. After many weary, dreary
months the captain regained his reason, and
when he learned of what his daughter had
done he was greatly surprised, and declared
that had he been placed in the same position
he could not have done better. The ship was
| loaded with general merchandise, the cargo
being insured for over $1,000 The long alb
sence of the ship and no tidings from her, led
the owners and all interested parties to be-
| lieve that she with all hands ON board, had
been lost. Imagine their surprise, after the
supposed fate of the ship had almost passed
| from their minds, when one bright day in
summer the ship Templar, with her cargo all
intact, came sailing into San Francisco bay

A new departure in the matter of counter
feiting money was brought to light at the
United States sub-treasury in Baltimore few
days ago A somewhat worn $40 government
bill was presented at the cashiers window with
a request for change, which was given The
note was sent to Washington as mutilate
currency, and was returned with the informa-
ton that one side OF the note was good. but
the other was weh-rxecuted conterfeit of the
original 1t was found that genuine $40 bill
had been split, the face being separated from
the back a seemingly impossible undertaking.
The original face, with counterfeit back
had been used, and it is quite likely that the
genuine back with a well executed counterfeit
face had been passed in some other quarter
The portion of the note was worth exactly its
proportion of the whole, or in other words IS.
More recently another $40 'front" was pre-
sented at the cashiers window, with similar
request for change. The clerk at the window.
suspecting the bill, told the man who handed
it to wait q moment until he could consult Dr.
Bishop, the sub-treasurer. Dr. Bishop recog.
nizeti in the note the familiar game, and sale
it was worth just SIS. When the clerk returned
to the window, however, the man had left
without his change. The sub-treasury, which
was out So on the first transaction, was evened
up by the second.
This system of manipulating paper money
is perhaps one of the most dangerous form,
of swindling ever attempted. One or more
genuine "fronts" mixed with several whole
notes would be liable to deceive expert bank
tellers. The face bearing undoubted proof
of gtnuineness, very few would be apt to ex.
anime the backs of all the notes, unless some
thing in the feel of the paper might arouse
suspicion. Then should any one, especially
if not SO expert as bank teller, happen te
strike the counterfeit side and have his doubts
about the notes, a glance at the other sid,
would possibly set at rest all questions. =

Mr.. Henry George, who has been lecturing
recently in Chicago, is described by The
Chicago Tribune as man of sturdy physique,
who looks the student and thinker he un-
doubtedly is. His manners are dignified and
reserved, yet extremely urbane and winning
He is Of medium height rather bald. His
hair is of a deep reddish brown, slightly
tinged with gray. He is AZ years old. He
has four children, his eldest son being "a

People have been regaled from time to time
with samples of the oratory of William NJ.
Evarts, in which single sentences have been
given of more than 200 words each. As a
contrast we may mention Roscoe Conklng's
address to the jury in tho case of Farnsworth,
receiver of the Bankers and Merchants Tele-
graph company, against the Western Union
Telegraph company, pamphlet of forty
eight pages, in which the speaker uttered no
paragraph larger than sixteen lines, including
120 words, and this in five sentences. There
is a great difference between great orators-

"What picture OF photograph or engraving

house," some one inquiries. Truth is, too
many religious pictures die out altogether,
and sooner or later lose all power of suggestion
or inspiration. Our homes are full of such
litter, which we retain from sheer force
Of habit or dread Of further disillusion.
Chiefest among such are pious death BEDS"
the imperiled women chnging to hef rock cross
among the waves Of mid ocean, tawdry and
painfully realistic Holy Families utterly
wanting in sanctity or spirituality, and so on.
But there are religious pictures that are so
charged with an esoteric righteousness that it
becomes quite as much an element as the
drawing, the composition or the chiaroscuro.
And such pictures are always living for such
as have the true insight. There are Holman
Hunts "Iight of the World, certain cartoons
of Kaulbach, the wonderful "Christ Before
Plate" and much of AIRY Scheffer and all
of Oyerbeck- Churchman.

great strength and rigidity being necessary.
Around the wheel extends an elliptical frame,
which is adjustable upon the axle much in
the manner of a ''teeter totter.p One rider is
seated on the front and the other on the rear
end of the frame, and the difference in weight
equalized as much as possible by the adjust
ment of the frame on the axle. The riders
sit facing in the same direction, each one ped
aling, the pedals being connected with the
wheel by adjustable gearing chains. The
machine is geared for rapid pace, for it will
be necessary to maintain great speed in order
to keep the wheel erect. There is no steering
attachment whatever to the wheel. The
guiding will be done by the riders swaying
their bodies to and fro.-Boston Transcript.

Accidents are like crime, believe,
epidemic. Down in Carondelet this is
more noticeable than elsewhere. Some
days, now, there are as many as three or
four day for two weeks-accidents on
the railroad, accidents at the steel
works, and outside accidents. Then
there will be times when we don't have
as much as a crushed finger reported. 1t
may be that the weather, the atmos-
phere, has something to do with it, in
making people more or less careful ut
different times. l don't pretend to ex-
plain it, however.-Dr. Starkloff in

To Cory With Pen or Pencil.

The quickest way to copy with pen or pen
Gil is to put u fat heavy weight over the up
per edge OF the paper on which you write, to
hold it firm and leave both hands free. Then
place the matter to be copied fat on the desk
at the left, so as to bring it near as possible
to the blank paper, With finger of the
left hand keep your place in the book or Ms.
as you write, and you will find generally that
you can copy quite as fast as you can COM
pose. For paper weight a heavy, oblong,
rectangular piece of brass or glass is most
effective-"W. H. H." in The Writer.

Prayer Machine in a Buddhist Convent.
Some 1900 years ago the business
manager of a wholesale prayer firm
in the Buddhist convent of Ganga-Nor
conceived the brilliant idea Of address
ing his communications to the eyes, as
well as the ears, of the patron saint, and
constructed a prayer-machine, which, in
default of a protective patent. soon &C
quired a remarkable popularity. The
prayers, written on minute strips of
parchment, and preceded by movable
address, were pasted on large cylinder
revolving like peanut roaster, and en-
abling the manipulation to offer up cali
graphic appeals to any desired saint at
the rate of $50 dozen minute. The
drop in wholesale quotations was unpre-
cedented in the history of the stock mar
ket.-Dr. Felix L. Oswald.

A flock of wild geese flying over Water
bury, Conn, the other day, saw one of the
kites which the Waterbury boys were flying.
This particular kite was up very high and
the geese objected to it. They circled about

number, seemingly delegated for the purpose,
attacked the kite and tore it into shreds, and
then went on their way.-New York Sun.
